Solution of triangle: a=345,b=648, c=442, /_A~~ 29.97^0 ,a=345,b=648,c=442,A29.970,
/_B~~ 110.24^0 , /_C~~ 39.79^0B110.240,C39.790

Explanation:

Sides of triangle are a=345,b=648, c=442a=345,b=648,c=442

cos(A) = (b^2 + c^2 − a^2)/(2bc) = (648^2 + 442^2 − 345^2)/(2*648*442) = 0.8663cos(A)=b2+c2a22bc=6482+442234522648442=0.8663
:. /_A=cos^-1(0.8663)~~ 29.97^0

cos(B) = (c^2 + a^2 − b^2)/(2ca) = (442^2 + 345^2 − 648^2)/(2*442*345) = -0.34597
:. /_B=cos^-1(-0.34597)~~ 110.24^0

/_C ~~180-( 29.97+110.24) ~~ 39.79^0

Solution of triangle: a=345,b=648, c=442, /_A~~ 29.97^0 ,
/_B~~ 110.24^0 , /_C~~ 39.79^0 [Ans]
